mangastream picked up black clover

now they do every single manga that viz do (and more)

How much Kimetsu no Yaiba is selling right now?
(Since Nisekoi became "unpopular", I'm not caring about sales or rankings, it became more grave when it ended. XD)

 

[Mammo]

Kimetsu is a member of the 30k club (Hinomaru-Samon-Dancing-Isobee)

however it's the only member that have its sales increase with each volume so it might leave the club soon

I expected as such. They did the same when My Hero Academia's anime was announced too.

I've seen comments on it before but this is first time I've paid attention to it... souma is ranked lower than yuragi? Was 2016 considered a down year for it?

 

[Leoat12]

It was a down year for Shokugeki no Soma although its quality didn't fall an inch.
People didn't like the current arc for some reason.

 

[vampire killer]

Kimetsu no Yaiba volume sale:
Volume 2 -16,323 - 4 days
Volume 3 -25,967 - 6 days

Production I.G ( Haikyuu ) , music : Yuki Hayashi from MHA

OMG!! GG!

Production I.G ( Haikyuu ) , music : Yuki Hayashi from MHA

Is this true? Because if so, then I am really excited for the upcoming anime. Production IG handled Haikyuu and Kuroko's animes quite well so I'm expecting some quality dancing animations. Obviously they might not be on par with Haikyuu's superb animation due to certain reasons, but I still have high hopes that it will be good nonetheless.

In other news, I just finished reading Toriko (about an hour ago) and damn, that was one hell of a ride.

Spoiler: Toriko Review

In the beginning it was quite a mediocre to average manga in terms of story and art, and it really didn't grip me with its first 10 or so chapters like other series did. In fact, at one point I dropped the series. I didn't return to it until months later when I couldn't find a series to read and I saw a certain page that got me motivated to pick it back up again. I'm really glad I gave it that second chance because at about 60 chapters in, the Century Soup arc began and that's when Toriko truly began to shine. I loved how manly and hardcore and generally over the top everything was with the scale of the beasts they faced and environments they struggled through. I loved the designs of the creatures, and it really seemed like Shimabu enjoyed coming up with the designs. As the series neared its end, I loved the hell out of the just enormous and ridiculous scale of the fights that went down. I'm really disappointed that it ended as soon as it did because if it had begun it's serialization 5 to 10 years earlier it definitely would have been a bigger lasting hit than it was now. Actually, my fantasy for this series would have been a 700 or so chapter series that had 3 major sagas covering the Human World, Gourmet World, and space (yes I loved it that much if you couldn't tell). Sadly, this will only remain a dream of mine.

In summary, Toriko was an amazing series to read and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who enjoys battle manga.

Yeh, is this true? I haven't found any confirmation yet. But if it is, that's crazy. I'm a bit butthurt they didn't pick up HZ, but Ballroom's probably gonna be amazing if it's done by them.

 

[Leoat12]

Why not go to the Shounen Magazine thread and find out? XD

 

[RafaFedKilla]

I just can't make it past Yaiba's art. It's just so unappealing to me.

 

[justsomeguy]

I've seen comments on it before but this is first time I've paid attention to it... souma is ranked lower than yuragi? Was 2016 considered a down year for it?

Yup, Yuragi has better average atm. But Soma is only ranking bad since October. It's got 7 bottom out of the last 10 ranks and had gotten only 4 in the whole year.

 

[Halloween]

So, having looked at the scans for chapter 21 of Neverland, does it seem like the art has improved? I'm thinking Posuka finally became accustomed to the weekly serialization schedule, or he got new assistants, or both. Either way, there's a definite art improvement.

Kimetsu is a member of the 30k club (Hinomaru-Samon-Dancing-Isobee)

also know as "Unfantastic Four"

 

[tirakai]

I wonder what would happen with the various jump series fanbases if the stream got taken down, they've got a huge foothold in fanscans for the more mainstream stuff (with btt probably being the biggest site for smaller series). Some other sites would get big in not too long of course but those two have been the main folk for years at this point.

Even just the permanent one day delay we got a couple years back for the big 3 had people angry/confused for a good while.

 

[Nakura]

What I don't get is why there are people who are so persistent in wanting a series they read to be picked up by MS. I mean, why? If there's already a good scan group doing it then what's the point?

 

[tirakai]

They release chapters faster than any other groups and that's all that matters to a lot of the fanbase for popular stuff.

 

[Halloween]

What I don't get is why there are people who are so persistent in wanting a series they read to be picked up by MS. I mean, why? If there's already a good scan group doing it then what's the point?

It ensures popularity, usually. Neverland probably wouldn't be as popular as it is now had MS not picked it up from the beginning, for instance. At least, discussion-wise. The same would happen to Kimetsu if they decided to pick it up, I'd wager.

 

[xAsum0x]

Because they translate the chapters fast?
